My suggestion is to paint a 4x6 area twice.
There is a text labeled as "Tintable" on the title and item description. You can customize it with any color you want. It comes white without any colour. Getting the tint and mixing it in my car paint at Sherwin Williams until it was dark enough for me took a while.
To get it to stick like hell, you will need to sand whatever you are painting (I'll assume it's your vehicle and you like the color you chose). If you do that, you will create a pretty ugly surface, which will be suitable for spraying raptor liner over. did not pay attention to a 1" square spot on my front fender, and the Raptor liner parted along that line. It will not look good if you intend to use it as a clear coat over the top of your existing paint, however, given the time and effort required for the In addition to having access to any paint code you desire, you can also go to a PPG store and have them produce a quart for you (just say what you are using it for and leave out Hope you have a good day!

Plan out how you will spray and take your time. Excellent product. If it were a gravity gun, I would give it five stars. Since it will be thicker, it will be 8). There is one major downside to the product the bottle sits at the bottom of the bottle. Because of the angle, nozzle spraying in the middle of areas like the hood is extremely difficult. Several recommendations follow * * * If you are starting from the center of large flat or hard-to-reach areas like the hood or the roof, spray the center and then work In addition, you need to make sure the bottle is at least 1/4 full, as it is a siphon feed and may sucke air out of the bottle. 2.
Make sure the gun is clean between bottles by keeping it in 3 - You should mix the tint separately with the Upol if you will be mixing color. Add the hardener to the remaining content of the Upol bottler to loosen the hardened material and get it off the walls and bottoms). Mix the remaining Upol hardener and leftover product with the tinted product once it's all done mixing in the bottle (you may have left over hardener and product). Put the mixture back into Once you mix it up a few times, you will have a lot of excess to paint into the areas that are hard to reach for touch ups.
It was my friend's Wrangler that appealed to me the most, and he talked me into buying Cleaning, filling, sanding, cleaning, masking, waxing, and removing grease on all surfaces, use adhesive promoter on plastic and hard to reach places, clean the gun with acetone and get a good regulator for the gun ($9). A clean and ventilated environment is the best place to paint. Because I was going to paint my garage in the backyard, I dug a trench, put up a tarp using every ring available, and dropped the paint in. There was a mistake on my part. It is recommended that you do not let the paint get wet for 72 hours. The truth. Then, I went to work and failed to put it in my garage after I painted it on a sunny day. Destroyer Gray from Dodge (made at a local paint store) is the custom toner I received. After dew collected overnight, the high areas have lightened, so I'm going to scuff and repaint the hood scoops and tops of bumpers and fender There is nothing to worry about! It will just take a couple days for it to fully cure, so I'll just have to remember to put it back into the garage. We have been dealing with this for a week now, and it's It's important to sand everything though, especially the edges near the doors and any plastic. should have used 80 grit on impact areas of the plastic bumpers, as I used 150 grit on non-impact areas. It's still 5 stars in my book, and you'll have an interior doing It's up to you! Do not underestimate the amount of prep work that must be done.
It is likely that in the last five years, we have applied hundreds of gallons of this. Having read this material, I am really enjoying it. It is not comparable to rhino liner or its direct competitors in the bedliner market. As a trade off, this material may be 80% more durable but it is thinner, so it is thin, but it is much more versatile. The Raptor is easy to mix and has a long storage life when left unmixed. Its best used when you have a good paint job in good condition without rust or exposed metal. You only need to scuff with 120, then In addition to being very durable, when properly installed, it is also very energy efficient. We have mostly encountered rusty surfaces as the cause of issues with this. remove the rust and properly prime the surface, you'll end up with a rust stain that eventually shows even on black surfaces. You can sand this material with 120 or rougher, but not so rough that it cuts through the coating and gets to metal. This material will not stick to any slick surface, so be sure to sand it well enough not to damage it. Despite its name, this material does not seem to be very effective at blocking rust. You need to use a good epoxy primer for any metal that is bare before applying this coating. If you sand blast to the bare metal and apply it, then it will rust. As well as its versatility, this stuff is also easy to maintain. Depending on your preference, you can apply it like a normal paint or use a texture gun to get the same cool textured look as a bedliner. With a little play with the air pressure, you can adjust the texture even further. It's best to shoot texture at about 60 psi, but you may have to bump it up for a finer texture, and reduce it for a bigger glob. There is a nice feature of how you can wait until the next day to remove your masking without having a difficult time doing so, You can tint it with urethane colorants if you want it to hold up outside. The color was sprayed on without any negative impact on the coating using leftover 2k urethane paint that wasn't catalyzed. If you want to use the texture gun, you need to have a big enough air compressor to handle the cfm. The pancake compressor isn't a great choice for anything larger than a couple of small items. It takes about 25 minutes to turn it on before it kicks in, and it takes even less time if it's really hot.
Although John was not sure that I would be able to pull it off, I think it looks perfect and the paint job is also amazing!! Just two more bottles would have been nice, and that is only because at one point I bumped against the car when it was drying, leaving me with not enough to fix the problem. We will be buying extras so that we can touch up the paint fairly quickly. Even a rookie (as I am) will have no problem doing this. In fact, I did not even sand perfectly I just grabbed a sander and random sandpaper and started digging through it. Since it is a bumpy surface, it does not have to be perfect. To sand the entire thing, I spent a full day, then to clean the truck and tape it off, and finally, to paint it. It's done and dusted!.
Before applying, I had looked all over the internet and it was difficult to find all the information. After some difficulty at the beginning, however, it was quite simple to put View "B is for Build Raptor liner" on YouTube before you use My paint job turned out to be strong, durable, and I got a lot of compliments that I completely could not afford - I spent 310 dollars in total for sandpaper, an electric sander, primer, Raptor liner, and a mask. There is a business that will do it for you for 2200 dollars. Thus, you will be saving money, plus, it is a lot cheaper than a paint job, and it will last Thanks for reading!.
I am amazed at how easy this is By taking it step by step, the product proves to be foolproof. I am 56 years old, and my grandson is 15 years old. I am very pleased with the results. Whenever I am going to do a good or excellent job, I always prep the surface, wash, wipe degreaser, apply adhesion for 20 minutes, and shoot. You can choose any color you like.
